…Don't Try This at Home isn't the sort of album that announces itself loudly, but slip into its understated textures and you'll discover one of Bragg's warmest and most thoughtful albums.
Upon leaving the Smiths in 1987, Johnny Marr embarked on a musical walkabout, choosing to collaborate rather than build a career. He began playing studio sessions, appearing on records by Talking Heads, Pretenders, Kirsty MacColl, Pet Shop Boys, and Billy Bragg, embarked on an extended collaboration with Matt Johnson of The The, and formed Electronic with Bernard Sumner, effectively sitting out the great Brit-pop explosion of the '90s. By the turn of the millennium, he finally tried his hand at fronting a band, turning in the underwhelming Boomslang with the Healers in 2003, before once again sliding into a supporting role, joining Modest Mouse in 2006 and then decamping for the Cribs a few years later.
One of Mojo's better collections, stands alongside any good "regular" album. A great reminder of Johnny Marr's sonic brilliance, if you (like me) had tended to forget about him over these many years…
The christmas release for 2015, from the known series "Now That's What I Call". This triple-CD compilation is full of classic favourites from Mariah Carey, Wham!, Chris Rea, Coldplay, Kylie Minogue, John & Yoko, The Jackson 5, and many more! Great album to celebrate the upcoming holiday.
Another 'Great' Compilation collectable which is sure to trigger many a memory of those times. A DVD collection with the title of "Das Beste aus dem Musikladen" features 35 + 5 classic music promos across a diverse range of styles.
